e uno zerg che vuole giocare senza hatchery units? cosa fà?

inizi a creepare la base dell'avversario finché non abbandona schifato la partita

[Turin]

We're thinking of moving Burrow research down to tier 1. Perhaps with an increased research time if needed.

Reason is to give Zerg something more they can do on the offense early on so that Zerg has more of a choice of offensive play vs. Teching.

We think tools like roach regeneration at tier 1 or comboing burrow with Zerglings and Banelings could be an interesting change.

We're going to be testing this change internally this week and just wanted to get your thoughts as well.

Thanks~



Non so quanto sarà bilanciata ma è una novità che gli Zerg aspettavano da parecchio visto che in WOL hanno un paio di aperture in tutto e in HOTS non è cambiato nulla per l'early game. Magari vedrò finalmente baneling rintanati nella natural avversaria.

Il Colosso è piuttosto appariscente, finalmente potremo essere BM in grande stile.

Come far sprecare scan ad un Terran che si vuole espandere...non bastavano gli swarm host che ti obbligano ai raven...

Onestamente non capisco questi buff agli zerg, o meglio non così...

[Turin]

Secondo me la ricerca non arriva in tempo per fare nulla di significativo, 100 gas in early game son tanti. Va provata, magari spunta giusto un timing attack nuovo e basta. Tuttavia dovrebbe essere scoutabile, tipo animazione del Lair per intenderci.

We will be bringing the beta down at this afternoon to make the balance changes listed below. Thanks again for all the great feedback you've provided while testing Heart of the Swarm. We hope to see you testing these changes and sharing your input soon!

(Major League Gaming is currently broadcasting a Heart of the Swarm best of 7 showmatch. We will bring the beta service down shortly after the showmatch concludes, as we don't want to interrupt. You can watch the show at MLG's Twitch.tv Stream.)

Terran

Reaper
Health increased from 50 to 60.

Protoss

Void Ray
Supply cost increased from 3 to 4.Activating the Prismatic Alignment ability now causes a timer to display over the Void Ray for the duration of the effect.

Zerg

Hatchery
The Evolve Burrow upgrade requirement has been moved to the Hatchery.




What follows is a breakdown of our reasoning behind recent balance changes in the StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm beta.

Void Ray
We haven't seen many players microing against the Void Ray's Prismatic Alignment ability, even among the highest rated players in the HotS Beta. In order to encourage more precise micro against this ability, we've decided to display a timer on the Void Ray for the duration of the effect. We're hoping to see players pull their units back against Prismatic Alignment, and re-engage once the ability is on cooldown.

We also felt that Void Rays were too strong in the late game for their supply cost, so we decided to increase this requirement by 1.

Reaper
We think that Reapers are headed in the right direction. Players are really forced to utilize the Reaper’s passive healing ability between attacks in order to maximize the unit’s efficiency. We'd like to further promote this type of play by slightly increasing Reaper health.

Burrow
We decided to move the Burrow upgrade requirement to the Hatchery, because we feel that early Burrow usage with units like Zerglings, Banelings, and Roaches creates potential for more action during the early game. Furthermore, the initial feedback from players has been very positive regarding this change, and we've already seen Zerg internal testers pull off some neat tricks using Burrow.

As always, thank you very much for your input. Please take time to playtest these changes before providing us with more feedback.


Un altro nerf per Invoker!

[TheInvoker]

giustamente....visto che anche le altre 2 razze hanno subìto lo stesso trattamento...vero???

Eh si le voids sono troppo forti......anche lo zelota è forte,facciamolo costare 3 supply e la mothership 12
Già che si siamo,ogni 2 probes la terza costa 2 supply invece che uno.

Pensa che erano considerate le unità più forti del gioco.

Ve l'avevo anticipato qualche tempo fa, e ora ci siamo.


One of our goals for Heart of the Swarm is to make watching StarCraft II more awesome for the viewers. The new User Interface features in Patch 2.0 are focused on giving tools to the caster, observer and production crews so they can create even more epic broadcast experiences.

We've upgraded these core observer features:

• Leaderboard entries can be clicked to focus the camera on that unit or structure
• Added leaderboard tabs for Structures and Upgrades
• Units under attack now flash white in the minimap, making it easier to see when action is happening off screen
• Status bars can be set to “team colored” to better differentiate between two armies in combat
• Status bars can be set to only appear when a unit’s life or energy are not at full
• All observer UI in 1v1 matches now has the concept of “side”; which side the players appear on can be toggled via hotkey

We've added support for SC2Interface mods:

SC2Interfaces are an entirely new feature that enables observers to watch the game using a completely custom User Interface. They exist within the Interfaces folder within the respective Documents folder for the logged in player (next to Saves and Replays)

These archives function as a lightweight type of mod capable of adjusting the User Interface for the local player. They don’t modify or change the game in any way for other players. You can use the custom interface with any match or replay you observe.


Some examples of what you can do with custom SC2Interface mods:

• Re-position, hide, resize, and reskin any part of the StarCraft II ui
• Create new observer ui panels that show gameplay data in real time
• Put your own ui textures (frames, logos, icons, etc) into your interface, along with custom text labels
• Create toggle hotkeys for any part of the interface
• Load standardized Options settings - never again forget to have the clock on and the tooltips off
• Have different UIs for the casters and observers
